White of Kansas City, Mo., are able to give you the English Home of our ancestor. Also, in the Appendix, the an- cestors of the wife of John Prescott, founder of Lancaster, Mass., from 1447, as they are not only his ancestors, but of thousands of other descendants of John White. The branches, in this volume, are not connected with each other, but each connected with the earlier volumes. We think this our last volume. We have given, as far as possible, all data to the present day, also inserted blank pages in the back of the book that each may continue their own record.

Robert, + 2 JOHN (2), b. we know not when, and the register of South 1 Petherton does not begin early enough to tell us if Robert White's children were born there. He, like his father, was churchwarden in 1693 ; died, will dated May 12, 1623 proved at ; Wells, Aug. 1, 1623, buried May 15, 1623, leaving widow Alice, whose will was dated Oct. 26, 1636, proved at Taunton, Dec. 9, 1636 ; see Will no.

In 1601 he was Churchwarden, as his father and brother had been before him. He had wife Joan, who died in South Petherton, Sept. 13, 1631 ; he died there Mar. 8, 1642.
